A VARIETY of wheat, Sherman (T. vulgare Vill.), stated to be resistant to bunt, has been grown at Cambridge for the past five seasons. It has been tested for resistance or susceptibility to the fungus Tilletia caries (DC.) Tul. (=T. tritici). (Bjerk.) (Wint.). It was previously tested in 1923 at Moro. Ore. U.S.A., by the Cereal Investigation Board. The percentage of bunt then obtained was 1.1. In 1924–1926 it was very heavily contaminated by me at the rate of one part of crushed bunt balls to 25 parts of wheat. At the 1925 harvest, the percentage of bunt present was 1.01, at the 1926 harvest 1.6. It thus seemed evident that Sherman was very highly resistant to the disease.
